SPECIALIZATION :

Plant Bacteriology with special emphasis on Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), Molecular Genetics of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria, Functional Genomics of Bacterial and Fungal pathogens, Population biology of Plant Pathogens, Biological Control of Plant Diseases, Mycotoxins and Mycotoxigenic fungi and Emerging Plant Diseases and Climate Change

SUMMARY OF SKILL AND EXPERIENCE :

Strong academic and research background in plant bacteriology, molecular genetics of plant pathogenic bacteria, Huanglongbing of citrus and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), molecular diagnosis of plant pathogens, molecular characterization of citrus canker bacterium, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, population analyses of plant pathogens using molecular markers viz. late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans, bacterial wilt pathogen, Ralstonia solanacearum, rice bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, biological control of some important plant diseases, identification and bioformulation of bacterial and fungal bioagents against some economically important plant pathogens, mustard based biofumigation against bacterial wilt pathogen, brown rot pathogen and production of brown rot free export quality potato, induced resistance in rice by plant growth promoting bacteria and detection of latent infection of mango post harvest pathogen, experienced in teaching, training and facilitator at levels ranging from local workshops to post-graduate degree courses in Bangladesh. Project and consultancy experience included project preparation, management and evaluation, feasibility studies, environmental and sustainability assessment, socioeconomic impact studies, and formulation of plan of action. Several comprehensive studies on emerging plant diseases have also been undertaken which have included wheat blast and HLB of citrus. Collaborative works on potato late blight management is underway among Bangladesh, India and Belgium. Collaborative visits to South China Agricultural University as invited speaker on HLB in Bangladesh. Attended the the Joint International Organization of Citrus Virologists (IOCV) & International Research Conference on HLB (IRCHLB), Riverside, CA held in March 10-16, 2019 as one of the recipients of scholarship provided by Citrus Research Board, USA.
